setting the oven When using the temperature Probe:

1.   Preheat the oven to the desired temperature. (

Convection roasting 

Guide for meats, Poultry and Fish

.   insert the temperature Probe into the food. (see Proper 

temperature Probe Placement

 above.)

3.   after the oven cell has reached the desired temperature, place the 

food into the oven.

4.   wearing an oven mitt, lift the probe outlet cover and plug the 

temperature Probe into the outlet in the oven. (the outlet is located 

on the left inside oven wall near the front of the oven.) Make sure it is 

pushed all the way into the outlet. close the oven door.

5.  

 Press the “PROBe” button. the display will flash and beep 

“PRB” if the Probe is not inserted properly.

6.   adjust the temperature to the desired setting using the 

tiMe•teMPeRatuRe (“+” or “-”) buttons. a jump-in temperature 

of 160˚F will appear when the TIME•TEMPERATURE key is first 

pressed. to change to the desired temperature, just press the 

tiMe•teMPeRatuRe  key until you reach the desired temperature. 

The temperature can be set from 100-200˚F.

•  after the temperature has been set, the control panel temperature 

readout will default to 95˚F, even if the food has not reached 

that temperature. The temperature readout will increase in 1˚F 

increments until the food reaches the set temperature.

7.  the oven will go to the “HOld” mode for  hours after the internal 

temperature of the food has reached the desired temperature and will 

hold the oven temperature at 150˚F. The residual heat of the oven will 

cause the internal temperature of the food to continue to climb. use 

hot pads to remove the temperature Probe from the food. do not use 

tongs to pull on the Probe, it might be damaged.

notes:

after meat is pulled out of the oven, it will continue to cook. carry-over 

cooking affects all foods. the larger the item, the longer the carry-over. 

it is best to let the meat rest after it comes out of the oven for 10 to 15 

minutes. this will allow the meat to retain its juices and continue to set, 

making it easier to carve.
if the Probe is left inserted in the oven outlet when not in use, the control 

will beep and flash PRB until the Probe is unplugged. unplugging the 

Probe from the oven turns the beeping and PRB flashing off.

For many foods, especially roasts and poultry, internal food 

temperature is the best test for properly cooked food. the dacor

Temperature Probe

ImPortant:

1.   use of probes other than the one provided with your range may 

result in damage to the probe and/or the range.

2.   use the handles of the temperature Probe and plug when 

inserting and removing them from the food and outlet.

3.   Do not use tongs to pull the cable when removing the Probe. Do 

so could damage the Probe.

4.   make sure the food is completely defrosted before inserting the 

Probe to avoid breaking the Probe.

5.   never leave the temperature Probe inside the oven during self-

Clean mode.

6.   to prevent the possibility of burns, unplug the temperature 

Probe using hot pads.

7.   Do not store the Probe inside the oven.

Proper temperature Probe Placement:

1.   lay the Probe on the outside of the meat along the top or side and 

mark with your finger where the edge of the meat comes to on the 

Probe. the point should rest in the center of the thickest meaty part 

of the roast.

.   insert the Probe to the point marked by your finger into the meat. the 

Probe should not touch the bone, fat, gristle or the bottom of the pan.

•  For roasts with no bone, insert the Probe into the side of the roast 

in the center. For bone-in ham or lamb, insert the Probe into the 

center of the lowest large muscle or joint.

•  For dishes such as meat loaf or casseroles, insert the Probe into 

the center of the dish. when cooking fish, insert the Probe from 

just above the gill into the meatiest area, parallel to the backbone.

•  insert the Probe into the meatiest part of the inner thigh from 

below, and parallel to the leg of a whole turkey.
